EINSTEIN DVT: Conclusions
In patients who had acute symptomatic proximal DVT without
symptomatic PE, rivaroxaban showed:
Non-inferiority to LMWH/VKA for efficacy (HR=0.68; 95% CI
0.441.04; p<0.001)
Similar findings for principal safety outcome between the two
groups (HR=0.97; 95% CI 0.761.22; p=0.77)
Consistent efficacy and safety results irrespective of age, body
weight, gender, creatinine clearance and cancer
No evidence of liver toxicity
Oral rivaroxaban, 15 mg bid for 21 days followed by rivaroxaban
20 mg od, could provide clinicians and patients with a simple,
single-drug approach for the acute treatment of DVT
that potentially improves the benefitrisk profile of anticoagulation

EINSTEIN EXT: Conclusions
In patients who had completed 612 months of anticoagulation, rivaroxaban
showed:
An 82% RRR in the recurrence of VTE (HR=0.18; p<0.001)
Absolute risk reduction 5.8%; hence 15 patients need to be treated to
prevent one recurrent venous thromboembolic event
Low incidence of major bleeding (0.7%; p=0.11; NNH approximately 139)
Efficacy and safety results were consistent irrespective of bodyweight
and creatinine clearance
Modest increase in non-major clinically relevant bleeding (5.4% vs 1.2%)
No signal for liver toxicity
Oral rivaroxaban 20 mg od could provide clinicians and patients with a
simple and effective option for continued anticoagulant treatment
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01619007; *After PE EU licence, DVT with concomitant PE permitted; isolated PE excluded
#Data were collected at the initial visit and during routine follow-up visits or via mail, telephone, or email
